This walk, like Ben Klibreck, was another marathon day trip from Clashnessie, but by contrast with Ben Klibreck was rather more memorable. I seem to remember that it was a nice sunny day, but with the cloud coming and going on the top. For some reason I remember Willie Munro being on this expedition - perhaps the name had associations... Anyway, it was another John Hamilton-inspired jaunt - all the way up to Durness and beyond. But for the few of us who went it was worth it. The most northernly Munro bagged!
